| For Psychology Cal Poly for sure. Wouldn't you rather learn by doing it, not learn about the theory of it.
For Business I say Cal Poly UNLESS you want to minor in a language and study abroad. Cal Poly has a lot of study abroad programs but they only teach German, Spanish, and French. If you want to learn, say, Japanese, and SB offers that language a study abroad in Japan, then SB is a better choice. Other than that its Cal Poy.
Quite honestly, I have not figured out why people like the life style of UCSB. I think it is more of a steriotype that SB is really fun and blah blah blah that the SB students have perpetuated. I personally think the life style of Cal Poly is far better. You get Pismo for the beach, lots of hiking and forrests for the campers/hikers, You get a very nice town, with a wonderful farmers market.
UCSB, the beach is a little closer. It's a bigger town (I think thats a neg, but you may think its a pos.) You get the "UC" name.
In my head it's Cal Poly all the way from a life style perspective. If you add in how good your education will be, then it's not even a contest. Cal Poly is far superior. Some people hold Cal Poly in their minds as "It's the best Cal State school. But it's not a UC". These people love their name brand products. They don't look at the quality of the students being produced, they just care about the "Cal State" vrs. "UC" names.
In the end it obviously your choice. Just don't let opinion skew fact(Obviously I am biased toward Cal Poly) |
